Number of births in Cook County in 2018 - 2021

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act., I hereby request the following records:

According to, 410 ILCS 535/10:

"The State Registrar of Vital Records shall, at the close of each calendar year, certify to the county clerk of each of the several counties the number of births, deaths, and fetal deaths properly registered in his county, with the names of the local registrars entitled to the prescribed fees, and the amount due each at the rate fixed in this Act."

Please provide a copy of these certifications sent to Cook County for calendar years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Forest Gregg
